Why oh why couldn't somebody have been there to stop him? Why?????????

And then...He speaks to me again...like He has so often these last 6 1/2 months.

My precious daughter, I was with him the entire time. Just like I've promised over and over, I will never, ever leave you or forsake you, I NEVER left Chris and was there as he took his final breath on earth and entered my presence in Heaven. I can answer every single one of the questions you keep asking yourself, but it truly doesn't matter now - does it? Just rest in the fact that Chris was never alone. Never. I whispered to him many times that evening, just like I'm whispering to you now. And, I tenderly held him. Just know this...he told you this himself in his last email to you...never doubt how much he loved you. Daughter, let that be enough to satisfy those unanswered questions. But...even more...never doubt how much I love you. Chris was never alone. And...what's more...neither are you my beloved!Even now, I'm catching those tears as they fall from your eyes. I. Am. Right. Here. Feel my Presence surrounding you - just like I did for Chris the night of May 3.

Leah, I am so thankful for this promise that Christ never leaves us and we are never alone. When my mom died she left a letter to us titled "Not Alone" and reassuring us that she was not alone and that we are never alone. You don't know how many times, over the years, I've been comforted and found peace during the lonely times knowing that God is faithful to His word. He is ALWAYS with us. Praying He overwhelms you with His presence everyday...but especially during the holidays.
